I sketched a little on Saturday. It was Cole's, our grandson's, Birthday. I didn't post about his birthday this year, but we did call, he is in Kentucky. We will see Cole and his family for Thanksgiving there. It will be fun to see them all.
I got some new Prismacolor pens to try out. I will talk a bit more about them after some serious experimenting. Just to try them I worked on a Zentangle I think I will use that idea for the cover of my Sketchbook for the project at the Art House Project. (The Art House moved to New York from Georgia so the deadline is changed to January. I have more time to procrastinate.)So I was mostly playing, but then did a couple of sketches with them.
These are for Scavenger Hunt 154. Number 1, sleeve and number 2, nail. You can see the color a little through the paper from the Zentangle. I was heavy handed and the paper is thin. So the bleed or shadow is not bad for such lightweight paper.
Number 3, plastic. One of Gene's speakers for his computer. I like the pens so far.
The pears are not really framed, but I stuck them inside this frame and they looked so nice that I had to take a photo. You can read about them here and see them without the frame. The gold frame really brings out the reflections, I think.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

I bet you are looking forward to seeing your grandson - and happy birthday to him.
I bought pears yesterday with you and your painting in mind.
Love the great reflections, Jo; this one for sure belongs on Regina's pear blog!
Bag Blog, thank you, I will pass on the good wishes to Cole. Oh, I am anxious to see the pears. You should put them on pearathon.com that Regina hosts.
Susan, thank you, it is on there. I didn't see any of yours, though??
Love the pears!! I debated about joining that project when Jeanne mentioned it. I think I'm glad I didn't. With the trip to France, a lot of my time was used up and I hate having to scramble at the last minute.
Hi Joan, Thank you on the pears. You don't really have to join anything, just submit your drawings. You have some nice sketches of pears. :)
The site is hosted by my friend Regina.
